I have been the proud owner of my 2001 Xterra for two years now and it is the best rig I have ever owned. I have been so pleased with it that I have decided to put some money in it to see what it really can do. While looking for ideas (and also repair directions) I found this site. This forum has many people who have great rigs and people that have a wealth of knowledge about these vehicles. Thanks in advance and I will get some pictures of the X up soon. By the way any tips that ya'll know and want to pass on I would be grateful.

The Chilton manuals are decent but go to this link and download the FSM for your year model xterra. It is the most comprehensive service manual you will find for each year model. It is broken down into multiple files (because it is huge) but it covers everything from the tail lights to the transmission.

Thanks that manual is awesome, much better than the chiltons.

I really like your rig and I have a question is the paint job on your plastic holding up. I need some new plastic anyway but it would be nice to not have to buy it all.

I live in Clarksville TN. I am headed to Arkansas to pickup my baby this weekend. She had the clutch burn out while I was seeing family so I had to leave her back home. I can not wait to have her home with me. once back first is painting trim and second is building a storage/speaker box somewhat like the one I saw somewhere on this site.
